Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 136 The Young "Nurturer" (Seeking monthly votes!)

On Thursday morning, the town of Shenhe was shrouded in a thin mist.

"strangeness."

Jinghe looked at her phone, which she couldn't open, with a puzzled expression.

Is the power out?

He looked at Gastly.

Seemingly understanding Jinghe's meaning, Ghost quickly raised its paws to indicate that it had nothing to do with it.

Fortunately.

After plugging it in, the phone turned on smoothly.

He carried the Ice Vulpix to Cynthia's house.

We arrived in Shenhe Town quite late yesterday, and then we had some late-night snacks...
The two of them didn't go to sleep until two or three in the morning.

"Are you awake?" Jing He gently knocked on the door.

".Coming."

A lazy yawn came from inside the room.

Followed by.

boom!
"Roar?!"

"Luk-ka!"

"Buyi~~"

After a series of loud bangs, Cynthia, her hair slightly disheveled, opened the door.

Under the gazes of Garchomp and Lucario, Jinghe said shyly:

"Because we don't know the specific address, therefore..."

It was only then that Cynthia realized what was happening.

I almost forgot that today is the day of the "Pokémon Researchers Conference".

boom!
The door is closed.

"Wait me a moment!"

Jinghe and Gastly exchanged a glance.

I decided to wait outside.

It snowed all night yesterday, so the entire town of Shenhe is now covered in a layer of silver.

"Ooh!"

"Chirp!"

Upon seeing this, the Ice Vulpix and the Little Blacksmith immediately rushed into the snowdrift.

This scene gave Vulpix a feeling of being back in the Alola Mountains.

Needless to say, the young blacksmith was seeing a snow-covered landscape for the first time.

Gastly stood with its hands on its hips, shaking its head and sighing, looking quite mature.

"Kou Jie~~"

They're just kids after all, unlike this old man.
Jinghe glanced at it sideways.

next second.

boom! !

The snowball exploded on Gastly's face.

"Ugh!! (‵‵)"

You forced me into this situation!
With a strange "hehehe," Gastly plunged into the snow and ice.

Not a moment.

Cynthia's Pokémon also emerged from the house one by one.

However, what greeted them was a continuous stream of snowballs.

Especially Garchomp.

As soon as it stepped out of the house, it was immediately enveloped by a huge shadow.

"Roar?"

And when it looked up in confusion...

"Roar?! Σ(дlll)"

Gastly, holding a giant snowball, grinned maliciously as it hurled it at it.

boom! !

For a while.

Garchomp was buried directly in the snow.
Gastly muttered to itself, realizing something was amiss.

"口桀"

You're not going to be a sore loser, are you?

then
It's about Garchomp and Gastly's "high-speed chase" and "great escape".

Anyway.

This was the first time Jinghe had ever seen snow shoveled using the "Dragon Dive".

After traversing several roads, large and small, and spending more than half an hour, Jinghe and Xilona arrived at the Shenhe Town Historical Research Institute at 8:30 in the morning.

The director of the God and Town Historical Research Institute is Cynthia's grandmother, and the institute is quite large.

In front of the research institute is a large square paved with white bricks, where the snow has been cleared away.

Behind the research institute lies a vast forest that connects to the Tianguan Mountain.

At this time, a number of scholars and experts from various fields of research had gathered at the entrance of the research institute.

They gathered in twos and threes, discussing and sharing their research findings.

"coming."

Dr. Yamanashi, carrying a briefcase, waved to the two of them when he saw them.

It was also briefly introduced as follows:

"This is Professor Oak, you should be familiar with him."

Professor Oak!

"Haha, is that Cynthia? Yamanashi has been mentioning you to me. You're an excellent researcher and a very skilled trainer."

Professor Oak doesn't have the slightest air of an "authority in the Pokémon research community." His smile is very kind, giving people the feeling of a friendly neighbor.

"You're too kind," Cynthia said with a slight smile.

Professor Oak's gaze then fell on Jing He. "And this is..."

"Jing He".

Jing He introduced herself with a smile.

He had spoken to Dr. Yamanashi a few times on the phone, but they had never met in person.

As for Dr. Oki, the only connection between them was that he gave a fairly good comment under Jinghe's paper.

Professor Oak wore an "I knew it" expression and praised with a smile:
"Your paper is very good. I've also heard about the research you and Dr. Yamanashi did; it's impressive!"

At the same time, Dr. Yamanashi took out a document, a pin-shaped badge, and a name tag from his briefcase and handed them to Jinghe.

"This is..." The name tag read—Researcher Jing He
researcher?
Jing He looked somewhat taken aback.

The pin-shaped badge represents the identity of an Alliance researcher, and the chip inside records some information.

As for that document, it was Dr. Yamanashi's report on the progress of his research on the natural evolution of Minas during this period.

How did I manage to get the status of a researcher?

"So... you knew all along?" Jing He asked in a low voice, addressing Cynthia, who seemed unsurprised.

Cynthia smiled slightly and said to Professor Yamanashi:

"Dr. Yamanashi, where is my grandma?"

"inside."

"You have a good talk with the two doctors, I'm going to see my grandmother first."

After saying this, he apologized slightly to the two doctors and then ran away as fast as he could.

after that.

People came over one after another to say hello, which indirectly allowed Jinghe to get to know many industry bigwigs.

For example.

Professor Elm, who studies Pokémon eggs in the Johto region, is also Professor Oak's student.

There's also Dr. Yew and Dr. Kukui.
And Dr. Bratano, the "heartthrob" of the Carlos region, who is Dr. Yamanashi's student.

Looking at these PhDs, Jing He couldn't help but sigh.
They're all "senders" from the three starter families.

Dr. Kukui and Jing He had a long-standing friendship, although he had previously used the identity of "Royal Masked Man," but he still treated him with great enthusiasm.

To Jing He's surprise, Dr. Blatano also talked to him a lot about his research and conjectures, and seemed very interested in his research.

Jinghe only understood afterward.

Dr. Blatano's research is actually related to "Mega Evolution," which involves a large part of the bond between trainers and Pokémon.

This is somewhat related to Jinghe's conjecture.

"If you have the chance in the future, you can come and visit Carlos," Dr. Bratano said with a smile.

"If I have the chance, definitely."

Jinghe did not refuse.

Anyway, they didn't say exactly when, so I can't afford to offend them in person, can I?
after that.

The conference officially began.

Professor Oak, a leading figure in Pokémon research, took the stage to speak, receiving thunderous applause.

Then came the process of sharing research experiences and findings.

These things have little to do with Jinghe.

He then took Gastly, Vulpix, and Little Blacksmith for a stroll around the neighborhood.

As they circled around to the back of the God and Town Historical Research Institute, Gastly seemed to have heard something.

"Kou Jie~~"

"what happened?"

Jinghe asked.

The Ice-Six-Tails twitched its ears, as if it had also heard something.

Then the two Pokémon looked at each other, ran in one direction, and went straight into the woods behind the research institute.

Seeing this, Jinghe, though still not quite understanding the situation, picked up the little blacksmith and followed.

quickly.

Even Jing He heard some of the noise.

That sounds like Pokémon battles?
bang——

Another muffled sound.

Jinghe finally saw the two parties who had made the noise.

I saw.

A boy of about ten years old, with short brown hair and wearing a black jacket, is holding a wooden stick and looks serious and focused.

In front of him stood a Pokémon with an orange-red body and a flame on its tail, Charmander!

When Jing He saw the boy's appearance, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Xiaomao? !
Or is it still green?

For Charmander, shouldn't it be blue-green?
Professor Oak's grandson!
Opposite him and Charmander was a Pokémon with all its fur standing on end, its back arched high, and its body covered in purple fur—

Skunk!
Judging from this posture
Jing He's expression was somewhat strange.

Is it going to be an indiscriminate open-world battle right from the start?
I saw.

The skunk bared its teeth, and an extremely strong stench emanated from its body as it lunged at the little fire dragon and the green dragon.

"Little Fire Dragon, flame!"

While giving instructions, Qinglu gripped the wooden stick in her hand tightly. When the skunk's attention was focused on the little dragon, she endured the stench and went up to strike it.

Jinghe remembers.

It seems that Qinglu learned martial arts from Asahi, the dojo master of Azure City in Johto, when she was young. So, although she was young, she was quite skilled and had the air of a samurai.

But that's it.
Although Qinglu practiced martial arts, he was not a "super rookie" and was still young, so his attack did not cause any substantial damage to the skunk.

However, it attracted the attention of the skunk, giving Charmander an opportunity.

A ball of fire struck the skunk precisely, and the burning flames startled it, causing it to yelp and run into the woods.

Seeing the skunk scurry away, Green let out a long sigh of relief and plopped down on the ground.

He also didn't forget to give Charmander a word of encouragement.

"well done."

"Click~~"

The little dragon called out softly and sat down beside him.

The current "mentors" are still quite inexperienced.

Judging from the looks of it, he probably hasn't had Charmander for very long, right?

As Jinghe observed Qinglu, Qinglu's gaze also turned towards him.

Qinglu had noticed Jinghe's presence earlier.

He could tell that if he and Charmander hadn't been a match for Skunk Poo, that handsome-looking guy would have made a move.

However, Qinglu showed no intention of talking to Jinghe.

After nodding slightly to Jing He, he got up and left with the little fire dragon.

"Tsk."

Jinghe smacked her lips.

Before losing to Crimson and becoming the "Champion of a Few Minutes," Green was rather arrogant.

Then Jinghe couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It seems like time is running out for Boss Sakaki.

I just don't know if the crimson and cyan of this world can reach their peak at the age of ten.
It feels a bit unrealistic.
